In-App Subscriptions Made Easy

There are various types of subscriptions: recurring, non-recurring, free-trial periods, various billing cycles and any possible billing variation one can imagine. But with lack of information online, you might discover that mobile subscriptions behave differently from what you expected. This article will make your life somewhat easier when addressing an in-app subscriptions implementation.

Presentation: Managing Variability in Product-Lines

Managing commonality and variability is the core of product line engineering. In this presentation, Markus Völter illustrates how model-driven and aspect oriented software development help addressing the challenge of managing variability in product line engineering. Both the problem space and the solution space are described by models, using a model-to-model transformation to map problem space variability to solution space variability.

In the talk, Markus illustrates the following techniques:

combining modelling languages for customization and configuration

using model-to-model transformations to formally describe the mapping from problem space to solution space

integrating runtime variability based on models

handling traceability on model-level

the importance of a powerful platform as a basis for the product line

developing families of code generators and model transformations

aspect-oriented modelling as a way of defining variants of models

using aspect-oriented programming to adapt product code for unexpected variability
